Gainsville Ala. Decer 9th 1840

 

Dear Brother. I Received your letter 

at [?] Courthouse Miss a few days 

ago which was dated the 2nd October informing 

me your were all well which was I glad to 

hear.  The circumstance of my not coming in 

this summer past was unavoidable by me 

when I got on to my Business the last spring 

I found it in a hazardous situation to leave 

in as much as the court in [?] faild by 

the sheriffs running off. a special term of

that court was held in July and I succeeded 

in giting a judgement in one of my cases for 

about $3,500 and had a levy made on 16 negros 

the 1st day of August.  They were claimed by the

[de...ts?] relation and he gave bond  for the trial 

of the right of Property at the [?] term of 

the court and we a [failed?] in getting a trial 

consequently I shall have to attend court again 

on the 4th Monday in april next and I think 

we will condemn the property and find it 

subject to the payment [?] [Execution?] and also 

at the same time get a judgement against the 

same parties Coleman & Welsh for upwards of 

$2000 more.
